Lotus notes mail box size

A blast from the past!

In Lotus Notes, the mailbox size is limited by the "Maximum Mailbox Size" setting, which is typically set by the Notes administrator. This setting controls the maximum size of a user's mailbox in kilobytes (KB).

The default maximum mailbox size in Lotus Notes is typically set to 10 MB (10,000 KB), but this can vary depending on the organization's policies and the available storage space.

Here are some general guidelines on Lotus Notes mailbox size limits:

• Domino Server 6.5 and earlier: 10 MB (10,000 KB)
• Domino Server 7.0 and later: 20 MB (20,000 KB)
• Domino Server 8.5 and later: 50 MB (50,000 KB)

If a user's mailbox exceeds the maximum size limit, they may experience issues such as:

• Slow performance when opening the mailbox
• Difficulty sending or receiving emails
• Error messages when trying to access the mailbox

To manage mailbox size, users can:

• Regularly clean out their mailbox by deleting unnecessary emails and attachments
• Use the "Compact Mailbox" feature to reduce the size of their mailbox
• Consider upgrading to a larger mailbox size (if allowed by the administrator)

Keep in mind that these are general guidelines, and the actual mailbox size limits may vary depending on your organization's specific configuration and policies.
